The Royal Swedish Opera, known as Kungliga Operan, is a state-owned limited liability company based in Stockholm, Sweden, operating in the performing arts sector. Founded in 1773 by King Gustav III, the company presents opera and ballet programs that include both contemporary and classical works. Its stated values, including artistic quality, a welcoming atmosphere, fearlessness, and a timeless approach, guide its activities. During a season, it stages more than 200 performances for audiences that include children and adults, reflecting a broad reach within the performing arts landscape. In early 2026, the organization announced a multi-year renovation that led to the temporary closure of its Stockholm offices.
